Judge backs teacher SIAN PERRY News-Leader The Nassau County School Board does not have grounds to fire former Southside Elementary teacher Karen Hanna, a judge has ruled. In his ruling Thursday, Administrative Law Judge Robert Meale said there was no evidence to back charges by the board that Hanna was insubordinate or emo- tionally unstable. He said demands made on her by schools Superintendent John Ruis and South side Principal Diana Middleton were "unreasonable or unauthorized." The ruling fol- lows a hearing last October at Hanna which Hanna, Middleton, Ruis and Southside guidance counselor Susan Ross testified. Meale's recommendation is not binding on the school board, and each side has 15 days to submit written exceptions to his ruling. Hanna was represented by attor- ney John Cascone and Ruis by Brian Hayes. Hanna was suspended from her job in January 2004 and threatened with firing after refusing orders from Middleton in October 2003 to report one of her first-grade stu- dents to the state Department of Children and Families (DCF) child abuse hotline as a sexual predator. NMeale upheld Hanna's decision as the right one and said "Middleton's directive was unrea- sonable" because Hanna properly investigated secondhand claims about the child, one in a restroom and one in the cafeteria, and deter- mined the incidents were horse- play. Meale said Middleton's order also was not supported by law. Florida statutes reserve the hot- line for reporting child abuse by a "parent, legal custodian, caregiver or other person responsible for the child's welfare," he said, not a child. "Apparently, the principal relied on a school board rule that was, according to the principal and the superintendent, intended to track the statute, but unfortunately fails to include the restrictive language as to the class of potential perpe- trators," Meale wrote. "A first-grade child is not a care- giver or a person otherwise respon- sible for the welfare of one of his fel- low first-grade students." Middleton testified that when Hanna refused, she made the call to the hotline. TEACHER Continued on 3A 'Glory of God' brings diversity to church GLENDA S.

JENKINS News-Leader He has served congregations large and small, preached to schol- ars and ministered to people living on the streets. For'more than three decades, Bishop Van Gayton's evangelism has reached around the world to a broad cross-section of worshippers. Now, as the newly installed pas- tor of Christ the Redeemer Church in Fernandina Beach, Gayton finds himself again breaking barriers in new territory. "I love pioneering new things," he said. "I believe I'm called to do that." As the pastor of Christ the Redeemer, Gayton has been called to the responsibility of helping the church to grow spiritually.

Raised in a predominantly African-American neighborhood in Olean, N.Y., a small town of 16,000 people near Buffalo, Gayton has cultivated multicultural ministries before. But as a child he learned early how differences among peo- ple can bring conflict. "I was the only black child in every class I ever had. I got a first- ;leader.com t Weekly Newspaper on the web class education, but I paid for it," he said. During recess he endured harassment from his white male schoolmates and often'got into fights with them. But his work as a pastor has led him to surmount racial and cultural differences among Christians and to create a path to unity. Gayton's marriage was the first step on that path.

My badge number is 86504. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. Did you pur- chase a new computer device for $450 from a marketing firm in California?" So begins the newest credit card scam, whose purpose is to get you to give them the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. (The American Express card has a four-digit number on the front of the card instead. It is flat and does not reproduce when the card is scanned.) When you reply that you did not make such a purchase, the caller tells you that they will be issuing a credit in that amount, and cites your mailing address, which he asks you to verify. This is to gain your trust. He even gives you a control number, and asks you to call the 800 VISA number on the back of your card if you have any ques- tions, giving them the control number. Now he tells you that he needs to verify that you are in possession of your card. He will ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers. There are seven numbers. The first four are your card number, the next three are the "securi- ., ty numbers" that verify you are in ...... possession of the card. These are the numbers you use to make Interment purchases to prove you have the card. "Read me the three num- bers." If you do, you have given him exactly what he was looking for in order to immediately charge the amount quoted (in this example, $450) to your card. Remember, the real VISA company or any valid credit card company will never ask for any- thing on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card. If you are contacted with a similar request, do not give the requested numbers. Instead, make some excuse such as "my daughter has my card right now, but I will call you back. How can I reach you?" Then call your credit card company, confirm the scam, and file a police report as the company instructs. We must be willing to fight back, rather than just hang up and forget it, in order to put the brakes on scams. Fear of prosecution can go a long way in discouraging the scammers. firstname.lastname@example.com WEEKLY UPDATE Ten court Gateway Blvd. in Fernandina Beach.

Oxley-HeardFuneralDirectors NEWS LEADEI WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30,2005 NEWS News-Leader TEACHER Continued from 1A DCF ruled that call to be false and a criminal investigation was undertaken by the Nassau County Sheriff's Office. No charges were ever brought in the case. The experience was traumatic for the family of the child accused of the sexual abuse. DCF and a sheriff's detective arrived on their doorstep unannounced on a Saturday morning to investigate the allegations, throwing them into turmoil, they said. They said they had no prior indi- cation from the school there was any problem with their son's behav- ior and his school records noted he was doing well academically and socially. The mother of the child who was allegedly sexually abused was not notified until a courtesy call from DCF more than a month after the alleged incident to tell her it was being investigated as a false report. She said when questioned, her son told her it was horseplay and that the other boy had tugged at his waistband. The parents of the accused child withdrew him from Southside after repeated attempts to get to the bot- tom of the issue, and after their son was punished for a minor play- ground scuffle and made to crush cans, without their notification, the day after the school was informed that the call to, the DCF hotline in Tallahassee would be investigated as a false report., They believe school authorities were trying to justify the call to DCF after the fact Meale noted in.his ruling that tension did increase between Middleton and Hanna as the inves- tigation by DCF proceeded, writ- ing that Middleton was "frustrat- ed" 'with Hanna and that her "dissatisfaction intensified" when she thought Hanna lied to investigators. "It is difficult to justify Ms. Middleton's conclusion that, essen- tially, (Hanna) had lied to the inves- tigator," he wrote, noting that the principal had "admitted at the hear- ing that (Hanna) had the responsi- bility of sorting out the alleged rest- room incident to determine .whether the male student was AMELIA ARTS ACADEMY 277 -222 5<-,, 277-r. u'iti.RocgC14 225 'M~' Teacher wants job back Karen Hanna, a former first- grade teacher at Southside Elementary School who was absolved of insubordination by a judge's ruling Thursday. wants her old job back.

Hanna was suspended from her job in January 2004 and threatened with firing for failing to report one of her 7-year-old students to the Department of Children and Families as a pos- sible sexual predator. Meale ruled in Hanna's favor Thursday and recommended the Nassau County School Board dismiss its proceeding to terminate her contract. Cascone is seeking for his client reinstatement of back pay, retirement, sick leave, vacation, guilty of any misbehavior that required reporting to the authori- ties." "Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated," he wrote, as a local TV station picked up the story and then phoned Ruis to say Hanna had called them, apparently suici- dal. Hanna denied this at the hear- ing. Ruis alerted police, who took' Hanna to the hospital. She was released the next day, but Ruis refused to let Hanna return to work until she gave "information relat- ing to your medical condition and/or status at admission and upon your release" from hospital. Meale said although that letter from Ruis, dated Jan. 15, 2004, "claimed to be concerned with (Hanna's) emotional condition and seniority and "such other fur- ther relief that is deemed appro- priate and would otherwise inure to her benefit during the normal course of employment." Cascone also wants the school board to pay for any counseling or other services Hanna may need as a result of the events surrounding her sus- pension. She also is entitled to reim- bursement for all lawyer's fees and the costs of her defense, he wrote, "and jurisdiction is main- tained for the purpose of estab- lishing such sums in an appro- priate amount absent the ability of the parties to reach such an agreementL" Cascone added that Hanna also should receive "such other and further relief as may be necessary to carry out the intent and spirit of the findings herein." email@example.com her ability to return to work, most of the items demanded by the superintendent in this letter per- tained to (Hanna's) involvement in the ... incidents of early October 2003."

A memorandum dated February 7, 2005 from a member of the Planning Advisory Board was sent to Mearns and Roland, copied to the Planning Department, and forwarded to the City Attorney. The memo said: "Three houses are being constructed in the 2200 block of S. Fletcher, adjacent to an existing house at 2282 S. Fletcher.. The south side l t house appears to be in serious violation of the side yard setback rules. If the other 2 houses are to be the same height, they will also be in violation. This construction should be stopped until the possible violations are i investigated and corrected as may be necessary." The memo went on to say. "You can do something about this; please do it."

They could also own the lot next door to you. In a new trend, Europeans are buying American real estate. Due to a stronger currency than the U.S. dollar, they can buy more American goods than before. An increasingly popular item is real estate. Several local real-estate bro- kers indicated that Europeans are buying property right here in Nassau County. like many Americans, they are finding real estate to be a lucrative venture - especially in the U.S., and partic- ularly in red-hot areas such as Florida. If you recall, the Japanese were buying anything and every- thing that was American during the late 1980s. The most memo- rable acquisition was the Empire State Building. The Japanese buying binge eventually cratered along with Japan's economy. Ironically, one of the biggest booms inciting the Japanese economy until its melt- down was real estate on their own turf. As the Japanese financial sys- tem began to unravel, the real- estate market there with its exaggerated prices also tum- bled. This is not to compare what happened in Japan to what is tak-. ing place within our borders. However, there are some alarming sim- ilarities. One eerie similari- ty is a popu- lar practice S known as "flipping." In a prac- tice reminis- cent of the Steve technology Nicklas craze of the late 1990s, investors are STEVE'S buying real MARKET estate with the intention PLACE of selling almost simul- taneously for a higher price, of course. You hear people use expres- sion such as, "You can't lose," and "You can double your money in no time." (A general rule of thumb: if you hear such state- ments in regard to any invest- ment, be wary.) With a rapid-fire purchase and sale of a property, an investor is trying to capitalize on a fast-mov- ing market; thus, the term "flip- ping." This is an accurate descrip- tion of what is happening in Nassau County, in Florida and through many parts of the U.S. Low interest rates, a wave of Baby Boomers preparing for retirement, and the allure of warmer climates (especially along the coast) have sent the real-estate markets soaring.

In contrast to technology stocks, there are compelling dif- ferences with real estate: a limit- ed supply; demand from Americans as well as foreigners, such as the Europeans; and the fact that it is tangible. During the technology craze, more than one upstart company consisted of nothing but a cubicle-sized office with a bunch of computers crammed inside. In fact, there were several of these based on Amelia Island. And you also had the risk of someone else providing the same service as you from another cubicle down the street. A pris- tine chunk of oceanfront proper- ty, for instance, draws few similar- ities to technology investments. The sustaining force behind the real-estate explosion is the Baby Boomers, who are gobbling up second homes and vacation homes even before they retire. They simply believe it'll be cheaper to buy now rather than later. You know, that lot next door may be owned by a Baby Boomer, not a European. But they just may not own it for long.

Friday, April 1st '. lu.uL .ii 12:00 pm Cost per person: $25 Reservations (904)-277-8081 Rising gas prices help sink consumer confidence University of Florida Florida's consumer confidence fell in March, reflecting concerns about rising gas prices despite relatively positive news about healthy employment levels in the state, University of Florida econ- omists report. The biggest drop came in the component measuring percep- tions of the U.S. economy over the next year, which fell eight points to 85, three points lower than at the same time last year. Other declines were recorded in perceptions of U.S. economic con- ditions over the next five years, which fell three points to 85; per- ceptions of future finances, which slipped three points to 96; and perceptions of personal' finances now compared with a year ago, which dropped two points to 89. Those declines were balanced by a two-point hike in the com- ponent measuring perceptions of whether it is a good time to buy big-ticket items, from 113 to 115. "Consumers are probably reacting this month to the spike in gasoline prices," said Chris McCarty, director of the survey research center at UFs Bureau of Economic and Business Research, where the research was conducted. "Recent economic indicators suggest that employ- ment levels in Florida are pretty good compared to other states, and sales data are positive. However, it is hard not to notice the higher prices at the pump." Energy costs will become even more of an issue if prices remain high as the weather gets warmer and people start using their air conditioners, he said. There was a large difference between low- and high-income households this month in per- ceptions of U.S. economic condi- tions over the next year, the com- ponent that fell the most, McCarty said. Although house- holds making less than $30,000 a year registered a two-point increase on this component, households making more than $30,000 registered a 13-point decline, he said. "This sharp decrease is prob- ably due to recent losses in the stock market, which have wiped out gains from February," he said. "Losses in the stock market would affect higher income households disproportionately than lower income households." Barring some unforeseen event, consumer confidence among Floridians should remain in the low 90s, he said. "We don't expect big changes in consumer confidence unless there are significant changes in the national economy or policy changes," McCarty said. "We expect oil prices to remain high, at least for the next several months, and interest rates to rise as the Federal Reserve continues to raise their rates. We also expect employment gains at the present level." The research center conducts the Florida Consumer Attitude survey monthly. Respondents are 18 or older and live in households telephoned randomly. The pre- liminary index for March was based on 442 responses. The error rate is plus or minus 5 per- cent. Consumer confidence is designed to help predict buying patterns by measuring the mood of consumers toward purchasing. Although other economic indica- tors also predict buying patterns, consumer confidence tends to be available sooner. The index is benchmarked to 1966, so a value of 100 represents the same level of confidence for that year. The value of the index is in comparing changes over time rather than looking at an isolated month.

She said it's largely thanks to Travolta that Fernandina was con- sidered as a location. He has come to know and love the area through his attorney, Mark Ossi, of Jacksonville, said Haney. "With that rcl.ili,,n'hiip, he disclosed to the production company that they should take a look at various areas," she said. The production will translate into more than 300 room nights locally, said Haney, "which is an economic impact just from the bed tax," "Room nights" is a term used by hotels to refer to total business booked, and the bed tax locally is 2 percent, The film company also made a donation to First Baptist Church for uc, iit i.cihtic. s. said Haney, and then there is "just the fact that :he y're here and will be eating and visiting."

Another request by Lonely Hearts Productions to close various downtown streets for up to 12 hours at a time in order to shoot scenes was provisionally approved.

But while the physical damage may be quickly cleaned up, the financial, emotion- al and psychological effects from disasters may be more long term - especially for business owners. In fact, for many businesses that have experienced such a disaster, the effects may last for years. Following the impact of last year's hurricanes, local business owners, managers and employees are being offered the opportunity to learn more about how to prepare for disasters. A "Disaster Preparedness and Business Continuity" seminar will be offered on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Amelia Island- Nassau County Association of tuesday Realtor's office, 910 South 14th St., Fernandina Beach. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. The seminar will feature guest presenters from public emergency preparedness and response agen- cies. Representatives of several area businesses will offer practical sug- gestions to assist all businesses in developing individual disaster plans. The Amelia Island-Nassau County Association of Realtors, Amelia Island-Fernandina Beach- Yulee Chamber of Commerce, Fernandina Beach Fire Department and Nassau County Emergency Management Department will host the seminar.

MEMBER FDIC OPINION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30,2005/NEWS-LEADER Crane Island'the right way' In response to the letter "You can't have it both ways" (March 23), I would like to explain, with better accuracy, the issue at hand. Crane Island is an issue that has been debated again and again. There is a strong likelihood, however, that eventually, whether in the courts or otherwise, it will be proven that Crane Island is not wetlands, rather an upland no different than most of Amelia Island. So, the focus should turn from whether or not the owner of Crane Island can develop the property, to how will they develop the property. That is where Amelia Island Co. (AIC) enters the picture. AIC is a genuine, environmentally friendly developer. We pride ourselves on the preservation that we've enacted on the island. For example, AIC initi- ated setbacks along the beaches and marshes long before they were required by the state. AIC also helped fund the restoration of Centre Street and we work with the county, state and federal government to protect the beaches and wildlife of the island. Most recently we preserved a historic cornerstone of American Beach. A letter explaining the details of this donation, is the letter the writer selectively quot- ed out of context. Na Na, an 8.5-acre dune, was donated in MaVynee Betsch's honor to the National Park Service. It would have been easy to turn the land over to the commu- hity, see AIC's name in lights and walk away. But what would become of the dune? The donation to the National Park Service ensured that it would never be disturbed. It took an act of the U.S. Congress and the signature of President Bush to complete the trans- fer. Even the letter writer would have to agree, it was good for all the citizens of Nassau County. Now, back to the main question, how will Crane Island be developed? We hope, with AIC's influence. The current zoning allows Crane Island owners 41 units, previous zoning allowed more, hence the law- suit. AIC's allocation of 129 of our units to Crane Island eliminates the need for a lawsuit and creates no increase in density within the coastal high hazard zone that covers all of Amelia Island (including Crane Island). The letter writer ignores thatAIC is helping here. We will work with the developer (AIC is not the devel- oper or owner) to preserve the character of the island. AIC has a good track record: Amelia Island Plantation has over 70 percent of the natural tree canopy after over 30 years of development, countless wildlife habi- tats and a more natural environment than virtually any- where else on the island. At Brady Point Preserve, where AIC could have placed more than 300 units, we limited it to 76 and placed more than a third of the property into a conservation easement never to be touched. Who else would the citizens of Amelia Island prefer influencing the developer? A "slash and burn,, pave and plant" style company or an environmental- ly conscious one that's been doing it "the right way" for years! Jack B. Healan, Jr., President Amelia Island Company Hazardous waste 9a16^ aB ,. i^rig Fernandina' *BearP^M Massachusetts to help my Dad renovate his home. In the course of cleaning out his garage I collected sev- eral boxes of hazardous waste out of date insecticides, solvents and household chemicals. During several phone calls to Fernandina Beach and Nassau County offices I was told that there are no local programs for the disposal of this material. The best that one office could suggest is that I contact a neighboring county to see if they could help me. This I did. A helpful individual with Duval County said they would accept the hazardous material, but he was clearly weary of calls from Nassau Country res- idents seeking disposal services from Duval. From this visitor's perspective, it seems that requir- ing residents to make the 80-mile round trip to Jacksonville is inviting less concerned individuals to save themselves the trouble and deposit their haz- ardous waste out of the back of their vehicles into Egans Creek. Warren Awtrey Orleans, Mass. Logjammin' Once again we were caught in another "log jam" on A1A/200 "speedway" Friday afternoon. This increasingly busy area between Amelia Concourse and CR 107 needs to have the posted speed limit reduced and strictly enforced by the police. Also, the cycle time for the "yellow" light at these multiple traffic signals should be lengthened to allow enough time for the dis- tracted drivers among us to realize the light is about to turn red. James Adams Fernandina Beach Thisis life Re: letters to the editor regarding "Log truck spill scary," Feb. 18. We who have always lived in Nassau County have depended on the wood industry in one way or the other for our livelihood. Since I have grown up and married my husband, four sons and four grandsons still depend on the wood industry and have their own logging business. We do not drive antique trucks as referred to in the letters, as most of these trucks cost from $95,000 to over $100,000 per truck. The trucks are kept in tip-top condition; the Department of Transportation constantly stops and checks and if there is a problem existing, the truck is grounded until repaired. We also provide huge insurance coverage, pay road taxes per truck and have permits for each truck Most of us are professional business people just the same as you are, we have paid house and land taxes in Nassau County for years on end. We are lifelong residents and we also hated to see growth on the roadways as we have to drive on these same roads and so do our families. We are also law- abiding citizens and we provide many jobs to these truck drivers that are screened and have to have almost perfect commercial driver's licenses before they can drive and we provide jobs on the equipment in the woods. (We did move up from the chainsaws and actually have equipment that cost us in the range of over $100,000 per piece. We provide employment to people that would otherwise be on the welfare sys- tem instead of working and trying to make an honest living.)

ADVERTISING DIRECTOR ROBERT FIEGE. PRODUCTION DIRECTOR BOB TIME. CIRCULATION DIRECTOR TOM WOOD CHAIRMAN DINK NESMITH PRESIDENT Community N I Newspapers, Incorporated The views expressed by the columnists and letter writers on this page are their own and do not nec- essarily reflect the views of the newspaper, its owners or employees EDITORIAL Outside review would restore faith in county We don't know if there was criminal intent or gross mismanagement in county government, as suggested by Nassau County Clerk of Court John A. Crawford after learning of allegations made by Commissioner Marianne Marshall. We do know these are serious allegations that deserve a full and complete external review. The internal investigation planned by the county will not be sufficient to assure public confidence. Marshall has long railed against what she terms "inaccurate" information provided to com- missioners and has sought to conduct her own investigations of projects she has questioned for example, an Amelia Island boat ramp, Miner Road construction and how these were handled by for- mer county administrator Walt Gossett before he was forced out. Marshall has now identified a ques-tionable pay- new assau county Judici Annex min ee. . Crawford sent letters to Gov. Jeb Bush and State Attorney Harry L Shorstein urging an investiga- tion after learning of the matter. Commissioners have appointed a fact-finding. team that includes County Attorney Michael Mullin, County Engineer Jos6 Deliz, County Administrator Michael Mahaney, county Administrative Services Director Cathy Lewis and a representative to be named by Crawford from his office. Mullin said the committee would interview Marshall and others, not under oath but with a court reporter present to make a transcript "As county attorney, I do not want, nor will I allow, any cover-up or exaggeration of facts in a fact-finding phase," he said. "The public will have no doubts at the conclusion as to any alleged gross mismanage- ment or improper conduct." We fear, though, that the public will have doubts, and that is why we think the county should seek an authoritative and impartial outside panel to determine the extent of the wrongdoing. We may come to find there are innocent expla- nations for the failure to complete the work. We may find that Marshall is, as she has been accused before, hyping the evidence for political purposes. Crawford may be manipulating the circumstance for political gain. Or there may be a case of gross incompetence or criminal mischief at the heart of the matter. We don't know. The public doesn't know. But if we are to remove this "shadow" over county gov- ernment as Crawford has characterized it, then we must have sunshine from outside the county to do it.

WEINTRAUB/EAST NASSAU HOMEOWNERS' COUNCIL- Stop A1A gridlock on Tuesday Right now it takes about 10 minutes to drive from the Shave Bridge to US 17 in Yulee, not counting delays caused by daytime road construction or the occasional log truck mishap. If Nassau County officials permit the latest developer attack on our quality of life, that trip will take as much as 20 minutes with a gridlock condition at Chester Road. When that happens, homebuyers will go elsewhere and home values in east Nassau will erode. The latest atrocity to be proposed is an effort to rezone 30 acres of industrial land along Chester Road between A1A and Pages Dairy Road to high-density residential. This will require a change in the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and violate the county's Comprehensive Plan. A change to high-density resi- dential will permit from 10 to 12 units per acre or 300 to 360 units. That would create from 1,700 to 2,100 automotive trips a day (Florida Department of Transportation formula for townhouses; more for apartments) on the three roads. Considering that it will be adjacent to the large shopping center planned for A1A just west of Chester Road it would make the AlA/Chester Road intersection a nightmare gridlock. This intersection is already facing a serious traffic problem with some 3,000 housing units approved along the new Amelia Concourse that will be feeding enormous traffic into a highway already barely meet- ing state standards. (The state transportation depart- ment currently rates A1A service at a "D" level.) If this high-density development is allowed to go for- ward the gridlock we will face will make east Nassau an undesirable area.in which to live. This is the type of development that we must oppose. There is a great deal of land west of US 17 and 1-95 where the infrastructure can handle high- density development; Chester Road is not the place for it. On Tuesday there will be a hearing before the Planning and Zoning Board at 7 p.m. at the Yulee meeting room. If we are to prevent this change we need to have a large turnout with many people High-density residential development adjacent to the large shopping center planned for AIA just west of Chester Road would make the AlA/Chester Road intersection a nightmare gridlock. speaking against it The Planning and Zoning Board is dominated by developers and real estate interests who will be prepared to approve this change. The only way to get them to reject the request is to show a large opposition to it. If the Planning and Zoning Board approves the request, Nassau County Commissioners will hold their own hearing on April 25 at 7 p.m. But the com- missioners are often told by the county attorney that if they overrule the Planning and Zoning Board they could be subject to legal action, so the commission- ers, several of whom have received election financial support from developer and real estate interests, usually rubber stamp the planning board decision. The time and place to stop this is at the Tuesday planning board meeting. The broader issue is the need for the county to hold to its Comprehensive Plan and obey its concur- rency ordinance, something county staff, the plan- ning board and the commissioners often fail to do. The Comprehensive Plan, which sets guidelines for land use, has lofty goals: ". make Nassau County a viable community... with minimal adverse impact to the natural environment." Its primary objective is to "correlate future land uses with the appropriate environmental conditions and the avail- ability of supporting infrastructure." One of the many policies of the plan calls for "future develop- ment to proceed only in accordance with. land uses designated on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM)." Another plan policy calls for discouraging FLUM changes "that increase density." Another section calls for ensuring that current hurricane evacuation times are not adversely affected by population, changes. The FLUM was created by county planners and consultants at great expense. Historic zoning maps were used as a base and it was supposed to codify zoning to meet state standards. An underlying princi- ple of FLUM development was to establish a specific population density for the county While reserving land for industrial and commercial development Pages Dairy Road is viewed as an industrial/com- mercial route. There is a proposal to widen and straighten Pages Dairy Road, extend it to Blackrock Road and build a flyover to Amelia Island (in the neighborhood of Gum Street and the Rayonier mill) which will create the parallel road called for in the comp plan. The proposed rezoning of the 30-acre Chester Road tract flies in the face of all this plan- ning and turns the comp plan's purpose on its head. Hand-in-hand with the Comprehensive Plan is the county's concurrency ordinance. This law, mandated by the state legislature, says "public facilities and services needed to support development shall be available concurrent with the impact of such devel- opment" Repeatedly, the county has allowed excep- tions to this law (most recently the county approved the 500-home Westwood project despite the fact that it fails to meet the ordinance's requirements). Without new east-west roads to ease the load on A1A (or new recreation and water-management facilities) there is no way a 360-unit development on the 30- acre Chester Road industrial tract can meet the con- currency ordinance. Tuesday at 7 p.m. will be the moment for the resi- dents of eastern Nassau to rise up and say "enough is enough." A show of force is the only way to stop this madness. I look forward to seeing all of you there, . . - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30,2005 NEWS News-Leader GAYTON Continued from 1A about his marriage to a woman of Irish-German heritage. "Whatever attitude of heart (people) have, it causes it to surface when they meet us." Gayton met Ellen, his wife of 34 years, in high school. "I think we, just being together, cause people to look at the situation and see where their hearts are," she said. "When it's in your face, it's like, 'What are my feelings? Do I have a Christ-like attitude?'" Bishop Gayton began examin- ing his attitude about diversity in . the church while serving as a chap- lain for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Although he led weekly church services, Gayton felt limit- ed in his ability to provide a wor- ship experience that all the inmates could relate to. "How is it that we serve one God and I can't have a service that everybody can be happy with?" he asked himself. The challenge of finding a way to merge various worship tradi- tions led him to develop an approach called convergence the- ology. Convergence, also referred to as "a contemporary experience of the church," blends sacramental, evangelical and charismatic forms of worship. Sacramental traditions include public reading of scripture and weekly communion. Evangelical practice places a high priority on biblical exegesis or interpretation, while the charismatic experience includes clapping, shouting and laying on of hands, Gayton said. In six months after combining the three, "I had the largest chapel service in all the federal prisons in the U.S.," he said. The experience taught him that to show "respect to the whole body of Christ" he could not be narrow personally, said Gayton, who was raised in the Church of God in Christ and became ordained under that denomination. "I had to be personally enlarged." Gayton enlarged the cohver- gence concept as founder of the International Community of Christian Churches. In 1983 Gayton left the Church.of God and began an independent church. Then, in 1992 he became pastor of a "mega-church." Both congre- gations transformed into racially diverse memberships. Even with his success growing churches, Gayton fervently pur- sues spiritual knowledge. He has earned two doctorate degrees in Bible philosophy and theology and served as an adjunct professor at the University of Buffalo. "I love learning and studying," he said. As a presiding bishop he super- vises more than 400 churches, four bishops, and travels the world con- ducting religious leadership train- ing. "We're expecting great things,"- Pam Miller said. She and her hus- band Mark are members of Christ the Redeemer. The Gaytons' lead- ership and example is "what our lit- tle island needs" because Christians need to connect across racial lines, she said. "I was thrilled. We need more unity." "I believe that it is his love for all people and God that has given him a particular ministry of bringing unity... and bringing walls down through just loving people," Michael McCranie said about Gayton. -. --. --. ... .- ..- ---- .- .-.- House of Pets , Talking Parrot $495.00 Parakeets $14.88 -,_2 .

McCranie now serves as an associate pastor at the church. "We have churches that are either black or while. It's a tragedy." McCranie said. "They don't worship together." The fact that Gayton is African- American has created an opportu- nity for the church to learn, he said. "He can share things help me grow and help the community grow," McCranie said. "I'm excited to have a church that is a multira- cial church. I think there is a power in that that this community needs." "There is room for unity in the body of Christ," said Ellen Gayton, who will become ordained in the near future. "I would hope that the church would become reflective of that" But for there to be unity, there must first be understanding, said PHOTOS BY GLENDA S.

Don W. Wulzen, Cmdr. Task Force 76, with echoes by G.C. Stock, Captain, U.S. Navy. The letter is dated March 16, 1965, and is but one of approxi- mately 15 letters of commendation hanging high on the wall in the room Burk calls the "I Love Me Room." But the conversation is not about Burk. He cherishes that letter because he said it appears to be the only recognition by anyone of the land- ing of the Marines at Da Nang, Vietnam the first landing in Southeast Asia, the letter says in an operation "that has now taken its place alongside Lebanon as anoth- er milestone in the continuing pro- jection of our national policy," Wulzen wrote. There, Burk and Wulzen part company because, Burk says, "There has been no recognition at all of the Marines' first landing in Vietnam, and I would like to see something done about that. Nine hundred fifty mothers' sons in that Third Battalion of the 9th Marines, and another thousand on the ships, did what they were supposed to do and many were left on the beach. We Navy people came home in two months," he says. Burk says a lot of those Marines "came home in body bags. And no one remembers that they were first" And he is deeply offended by the oversight. Vietnam was a very divisive war, he says. "It tore the country apart.

But through the 40 years that have passed since the first landing in Vietnam, he has not been able to forget those who were left behind on the beach. "A lot of those guys were still wading in the rice paddies and I was home. And I want this town, if no one else in the country, to know that nearly 1,000 young Marines were first in Vietnam served - and a lot died. And no one remem- bers," he says. "This country forgot. And no one else remembers what they did."

"A local limo driver came in, and he had a Division ring on his finger and claimed that the 173rd was the first guys there," he says. "But I straightened him out and I know I am right because it was my division that put them on the beach." "The truth is a lost page in his- tory," Burk says, "and somehow, some way, we need to honor those men, just as others have been hon- ored because it is the right thing to do. We have to recover that lost page in history and be sure that the names of all who were first to fight - and die there are remembered by all of us," he says.

MARCH 30,2005 NEWS News-Leader Off-duty officers save man's life at YMCA SIAN PERRY News-Leader Harold Bomar had no inkling he was about to drop dead as he worked out at the McArthur Family YMCA on Feb. 25. But thanks to the quick actions of Lt. Thomas Tucker and Officer Cory Williams and a nifty piece of equipment Bomar, 78, is not only alive, but well enough to talk about it. Both men were off-duty and at the Y when they heard a loud crashing noise. "I thought one of the kids had knocked over the water cooler," said Tucker. But it was Bomar hitting the ground hard as he had a massive heart attack. Tucker, with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Williams, with the Fernandina Beach Police Department, sprang into action. As Bomar turned deep purple and stopped breathing, Williams prepared to do CPR. Tucker grabbed the automat- ed defibrillator he had noticed months ago hanging on the wall at the Y, applied the pads to Bomar's chest, followed the prompts and revived him. Bomar's wife Judy said their 'He would not have made it. It was a major heart attack.' AJUDY OMAR quick response, and the defibrilla- tor, made the difference between life and death for her husband. "He wasn't there 15 minutes and he dropped dead," she said. "He would not have made it. It was a major heart attack." Harold Bomar was taken to Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville where he underwent heart surgery for three blocked arteries and now has a defibrillator with a pacemaker implanted in his chest. Thanks to Tucker and Williams, he was revived so quickly that he didn't suffer any brain damage. At a reunion at their Fernandina Beach home last week, Judy and Harold Bomar and daughter Amy Thompson thanked the two men. "I'm glad to see you, glad to shake your hand and glad to thank you," said Harold Bomar, who has no recollection of the incident. "You did exactly what should SUERDINR UFE InluesCrb.eg Sun-Tur. -930m* Fr & Sa 41 99 FEATURING10IEMD9 19 THAT HANGE DILY9 have been done," he said. "I was unlucky to have the heart attack. But I was lucky I had it when I had ' it where I had it. I was lucky you all . were there and Crosby that I recovered." For Fernan- dina Beach Firefighter Gary Crosby, the case illustrates what he and his firefighter son Andy have been. teaching the public since 1996 as the owners of First Coast CPR. Automated external defibrilla- tors (AEDs) which are small, easy to use, run on lithium batter- ies and now cost as little as $1,600 - save lives. A few years ago, "The chance of surviving a cardiac arrest was 20 to 25 percent," he said. "Now it is 75 percent. That's 3 out of 4 instead of 1 out of 4. The AEDs work that efficiently." Both Tucker and Williams are trained in CPR, but neither had ever used a defibrillator or had to revive anybody. "It's really easy, to be honest with you," said Tucker. He said the machine talked him through the 'entire procedure while Y staff called 911. Bomar was breathing though still unconscious when Fernandina Beach Fire/Rescue arrived. Ironically, it was Andy Crosby who responded to the call. Gary Crosby said the defibril- lators are becoming more com- mon in public places. Last year the Nassau County School District pur- chased them for each of its schools, and more gyms, restaurants and airports are stocking them, said Crosby. Legislation is also pend- ing to have defibrillators placed in all patrol cars, he said, since offi- cers are often the first responders. And add to that list Judy Bomar. S"I think I'm going to get one myself, not just for Harold. I would use it on'anyone," she said. sperry@fbnewsleadercomr * .- I :~ I A, f .......... Alt S. '. . SIAN PERRY/NEWS-LEADER Harold Bomar sits between his lifesavers, officer Cory Williams, left, and Lt. Thomas Tucker. Using an automated defibrillator, they revived Bomar after he had a massive heart attack and dropped dead at the YMCA. "These gentlemen deserve some recognition," said Bomar's wife Judy. "They literally saved his life. They shocked his heart and jolted it." A life and death difference According to the American Heart Association, about 220,000 people die each year from sudden cardiac arrest That's 600 a day. or an average of 25 per hour. Lightweight, inexpensive and easy to use, automated external defibrillators offer the best chance of survival in such cases, according to the association's website, www.american heart.org. As a result, the American Heart Association has launched a campaign to ensure automated external defibrillators are placed appropriately throughout communities.

As Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, The Skin Cancer Foundation reminds everyone to always use a broad-spectrum SPF 15 or greater sunscreen product as a part of a daily grooming routine. "After a long, cold and dark win- ter, Daylight Saving Time is some- thing we all look forward to," says Perry Robins, president and founder of The Skin Cancer Foundation, in a press release. "However, it's important to remem- ber to keep skin protected, even when the sun may not feel that strong. Just two to three minutes of sun exposure can begin to break down the collagen that keeps skin firm." Men are less likely to put on sunscreen than women are, and more of them get skin cancer. Research shows fewer than 33 percent of adults, adolescents and children routinely use sun protec- tion. However, the same ainount of . time spent damaging skin can be spent saving it by applying a pro- tective sunscreen or moisturizer containing sunscreen. Not surpris- ing, men are less likely to put on sunscreen than women are, and more of them get skin cancer. The statistics speak for themselves: Men over age 40 spend the most time outdoors and get the highest annual doses of solar ultra- violet radiation. One of four persons who develop skin cancer is under the age of 40, mainly men. Skin cancer is the number one form of cancer for men over 50, ahead of prostate, colon and lung cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation isconcerned exclusively with the world's most prevalent malignancy - cancer of the skin. The mission of this non-profit organization is to increase public and professional' awareness about the prevention, detection and treatment of skin can- cer.

According to the Florida Department of Health, results of Friday's saltwater testing showed a high amount of bacteria that is harmful to humans and ani- mals. Ronnie Nessler, an environ- mental specialist with the Nassau County Health Department, said local ocean water is tested at 11 Vai Re island sites once every two weeks. Samples are checked for enteric bacteria, which can. inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and ani- mals, and may cause disease, infec- tions or rashes. Following the results of Friday's test, the water quality at the very southern end of the island, near Amelia Island State Park, has been labeled as poor. Criteria for water quality classi- fications enforced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection labels water quality "poor" if 400 or more units of enteric bacteria are found per 10' milliliters of water. Four times tha amount was found in- water samples from this section of th Beach. , Nessler said typically the probe lem tends to clear up naturally with in a few days.

This fails to give full credit to the qualified medical professional ' attending to the athlete and can be confusing to the general public. Instead, athletic trainer is a more accurate description.

According to police reports, ear-, lier that day a group of people including Oliver, Sparkman and the two victim, was out in the woods riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

Statewide phone scam reported LIL SPINKS 14esi Nassau Correspondent The Florida Highway Patrol has issued an alert about a telephone scam throughout Florida. Lt Bill Leeper said callers impersonating highway patrol troopers as well as other law enforcement officers have been phoning citizens and telling them a family member has been in a traf- fic accident "The con artist then urges the phone owner to dial either *72 or 72# in order to speak with a doctor. By doing this, the phone owner will unknowingly permit the caller on the other end to use their phone line for making local or long distance telephone calls which will ultimately be billed to the phone owner's account," said Leeper. Anyone who suspects they have fallen victim to the scam should contact their local telephone com- pany to learn how to remove call forwarding from their telephone system, Leeper said. He said most of the phone calls have originated from pay phones within correctional facilities in the Miami-Dade area. Some of those facilities have started playing recordings on all collect calls made from their pay phones that advise they are from a correctional facility. "Please note that if your tele- phone is equipped with caller ID, these calls begin with (305) 459- XXXX and the ID name will be TCG payphones," said Leeper. However, other numbers may be used, he added. Leeper said TCG is the abbre- viation of the company that regu- lates payphones in correctional facilities. Victims should immediately contact the law enforcement agency the caller claimed to rep- resent, said Leeper. - Anyone receiving a suspicious call is asked to note the caller's voice, request a call back number and use the caller ID feature if they have -that on their tele- phone. . Leeper said FHP does not noti- fy family members of crash victims with collect calls from pay tele- phones, nor would it ask anyone to dial a *72 or 72# number. Family members of those killed in crashes are notified in person within the state, he said. For those from out of state, the FHP notifies the local state police or other law enforcement agency to notify the next of kin, said Leeper. The nearest FHP office is in Jacksonville. If an FHP officer is being impersonated, call (904) 695- 4115, ext. 233. This is the number for Troop G, which covers Nassau, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler,' Putnam, St. Johns and Union counties. If the caller claims to be an offi- cer with another law enforcement agency, the person should dial 411 to get the number of that agency, said Leeper. smalcom@/bnewsleadercom POLICE REPORT This was written by Shannon Malcom of the News-Leader from - oral and written reports by the Nassau County Sheriffs Office, the city of Fernandina Beach Police Department and other agencies.

According to the State Attorney's Office, James Warren Groover, 58, was caught as part of a larger investigation involving the FBI dating back to 2003. He was arrested on a warrant on July 14 that year. "He had in his possession pornographic pictures" of children, said public prosecutor Darin Gardner. The FBI seized his computer for examination by its forensic team, he said. But what- ever the larger FBI investigation involved, apparently "it never panned out," said Gardner. "We did conduct an investiga- tion" with the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, said FBI Special Agent Douglas Astralaga of the Jacksonville field office. He would not elaborate or talk about specifics of the case against Groover.

He is barred from having Internet access unless at work, something the state Department of Corrections vigor- ously enforces, said spokesperson Debbie Buchanan. "Our officers can go into his house. We don't tell him when we're coming, we can just go into his house and look," she said. "We have zero tolerance. If we find any violations of the terms of his supervision, we will go to court and get a warrant for his arrest." Buchanan said because Groover is on sexual offender probation, the department will watch him more closely than regular parolees. "We will have greater contact with him. We supervise them much closer and they can't reside within 1,000 feet of a school, playground or day-care," she said. As part of his sentencing in Nassau County Circuit- Court Groover also was ordered to pay $5,000 to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, S5,000 to Micah's Place, S5.000 to Barnabas Center and 8370 in court costs.

AARDOR -F I.p AYS0 / L'AF I OUTDOORS / TIDES CROSSWORD AROUND TOWN SPORTS TALK JOHN L. CRAWFORD B SECTION Referees should neverbe partof the story m I the only one sick and tired of ref- erees making them- selves part of sports stories? Tom O'Neill is the lat- est zebra to grab headlines by single-handedly dictating the outcome of a game Friday. O'Neill ignored a foul and instead called traveling on a Villanova's Allan Ray to all but end the Wildcats' chances of upsetting top-seed North Carolina in the NCAA basket- ball regional semi-finals. Replays clearly showed Ray took two steps on a lay-up in the waning seconds of the game. The call was way off. "I thought the ref called the foul, but he called the walk," Ray told the Associated Press. "I feel we should have never put our- selves in that position anyway. I can't say that's the reason we lost, because of that one play." But the fact is a referee's poor call made the other 39- plus minutes a moot point. I'm not sure whether O'Neill was wearing baby blue boxers under his uni- form or whether he just muffed the call. But I am sure Villanova fans who attended the game would have rather seen a miraculous play by Carolina, not a whistle blow- er, send their team home... Headline on cbssports line.com last weekend: "Spurrier Looks to Return Fun to S.C." The gist of the article was that Spurrier has abandoned his arrogant ways and has learned to respect others. "Maybe I was a little arro- gant. Maybe I ran my mouth more than I should," the 01' Head Ball Coach said. "Human nature comes down and causes you maybe to feel you've got more answers than you really do when you've got a real good team. "So, hopefully, I've learned some humility and great respect for all coaches." Sounds to me like the Evil Genius might be trying to lull his rivals to sleep... Meanwhile, new University of Florida Coach Urban Meyer seems to have inherited Spurrier's old reck- less abandon. During a recent post-practice interview, the 40-year-old responsible for a renewed sense of hope in Gainesville told reporters, "The object of the game is not to turn that damn thing over." Meyer was talking about how important it will be for UF QB Chris Leak to make big plays without losing possession of the ball. Can September get here quickly enough?... Defense has reportedly been the highlight of Florida State's spring practices so far, with defensive end Kamerion Wimbley and noseguard Clifton Dickson competing for starting positions on the D-line. Wimbley reportedly recorded three sacks in the Seminoles' first scrimmage Thursday, while Dickson had a sack and a fumble recovery. Is anyone surprised that FSU defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews will again field a strong bunch?... This just in: Don't bother trying to buy a Randall Gay (New England Patriots' star) jersey from NFLshop.com. Because when you type the word "Gay" in the box to indi- cate the personal lettering you want on the back of your jersey, you will be informed "this field should not contain a naughty word." Wonder if you can buy a Harry Colon (former Jaguars' player) jer- sey there? John L. Crawford's column appears Wednesdays. Pirates so BETH JONES News-Leader Weather wasn't a baseball fan last week. Rain and fog plagued the annual Diamond Classic hosted by the Fernan- dina Beach High School Pirates. Games were suspended, some canceled and the brackets were juggled. But the Pirates weathered the storm, picking up a pair of wins a 9-6 win over Orange Park on opening night March 23 and Saturday's 2-1 squeaker over Gainesville High School's Hurri- canes. The win over Orange Park should have pitted the Pirates against Bartram Trail on Friday, but a match- up against the defend- ing champs never materialized because of the weather. So, there were no trophies handed at tourna- t ment's end and no champion declared. Dickinson But you wouldn't have guessed it, Saturday night as the Pirates (7-6) relished a win over Gainesville (11-2). Trailing 1-0 after Gainesville scored a run in the top of the fourth, the Pirates battled to put a run on the board. Hunter Burbank singled in the bottom of the' fourth, but was stranded on first. Fernandina couldn't manage another, hit until the bottom of the sixth inning. Senior Brett Moore (.385) singled to get on base, but was picked off at first. In the bottom of the seventh, sopho- more Chris Conley (.385) singled and senior Will Taylor's double sent him home for the tying run. Junior Trey Spencer, pinch running for Taylor, scored the winning run when Blaine Dickinson, junior third baseman, sin- gled to left field for the RBI and the win. Kevin Beck (2-2) went the distance on the mound tor-the Pirates. The sopho- more struck out four and gave up three hits and a run. He walked two. Ryan Estes picked up the win over Orange Park and is now 2-3 on the sea- son. The Pirates rebounded from a pair of Hurricanes S. PHOTOS BY BETH JONES/NEWS-LEADER Senior first baseman Will Taylor doubled in the tying run against Gainesville's Hurricanes Saturday night.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 2005 NEWS-LEADER / FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA SOFT ALL Lady Pirates .2-2 in tourney The Fernandina Beach High School girls softball team went 2-2 in a tournament at Wolfson last week. The Lady Pirates picked up a pair of wins on March 21 but suffered two losses on March 22. The Lady Pirates opened with 9-0 shutout over Englewood. FBHS collected eight hits to Englewood's two. Brittany Turner was the winning pitcher and top hitters for FBHS were Megan Thrift and Wooda Smith with a pair of singles each. Kayla Mercer, Whitney Hudson, Caitlyn Cheshire and Melanie Williamson had a hit apiece. FBHS topped host Wolfson 7-1 the same day. Dee Dee DeBerry picked up the win, striking out five and walking two. The Lady Pirates had 11 hits with Cassie Justyn leading the way with a trio of singles. Thrift had a home run and Smith had an in-park homer. Kenan Roland doubled and DeBerry, Dana Sanders, Hannah Crews, Cheshire and Ashley Adams all singled for FBHS. On the second day of the tourney, the Lady Pirates faced cross-county rival West Nassau. The Lady Warriors prevailed 4-0. FBHS (7-8) mustered three hits off Katie Lawrence, who struck out eight and walked two. Thrift, Smith and Roland had the hits for FBHS. Turner pitched six of seven innings for FBHS. She gave up four hits and walked six. DeBerry gave up three hits in the final inning. "I thought we played a solid game against West Nassau," FBHS Coach Lesley Slaughter said. The Pirate defense played error free. FBHS fell 8-0 to Mandarin in the Lady Pirates' final outing of the tournament "It was a great game without the third inning," Slaughter said. "It is a 1-0 ballgame if you take away that horrible inning." FBHS committed four of their nine fielding errors in the third inning. "It was the worst fielding by Lady Pirates in my two years here," Slaughter said. "But they did well at the plate against both West Nassau and Mandarin." The Lady Pirates held Mandarin's Mustangs to just four hits while managing three hits of their own. Thrift, Sanders and Roland had singles. "I was very pleased with their performance in both games against two of the top teams in our area," Slaughter said. Turner pitched the first two innings and the fourth through sixth for FBHS, giving up just one hit. DeBerry pitched the third inning and gave up the other three. Before the tourney, FBHS beat Palatka 4-1 on March 18. 'This was a big win for the Lady Pirates," Slaughter said. DeBerry was the winning pitcher. She struck out five and walked no one. The Pirates had eight hits and Palatka mustered just two. Thrift had three singles, DeBerry had a pair of doubles and Williamson, Sanders and Mercer each had singles.

The Irish have never played in worse weather than the 92 women who participated in Long Point's Member-Guest tournament. Players were wet, cold and steadfastly trying to hold on to our clubs after about 14 holes when the pros were "gracious enough" to halt the debacle. The first nine holes played in the shotgun for- mat were used as determining the winners. The winning team of Dee Sullivan, Donna Wickensimer, Tish Moyer and Barbara Coffee was an astonishing 12 under net for nine holes. This is a repeat performance for this team. Marti Cain, Leslie Pierpont, Illene Kaufman and Linda Scott won the low gross with only 6 over par for nine holes. There were three flights with the first flight win- ners being Patt Corbin, Mary Poole, Susan Fernlund and Adrienne Romie. The runners-up were Deborah Phelan, Laurie Potter, Stevie Botte and Sarah Ramsey. Flight 2 winners were Jean Platte, Pat Haley, Sally Woodworth and Nancy Voss. Runners-up were Ginny Ardia, Ann Higbee, Alice Messina and Lois Schwinger. The winners of flight 3 were Suzanne Comeau, Phyllis Pennel, Anne Friend and Celia Kirk. The runners-up were Barbara Patton, Ashley Dewling, Merrilee Chamberlain and Gail Noyes. Winners and non-winners alike enjoyed a dry luncheon in The Palmetto Room at The Ocean Club beginning with a rum punch to celebrate the island fare theme. Men's blitz Seventy-two players came out on Wednesday to take advantage of the one good day for playing in the Fernandina Beach Men's Golf Association blitz as Mother Nature continued to rain on the days the blitz is played. Tom Purvis (84) and Doug Morris (87) shared individual honors at plus 9. Tom Harmon had an 82, good for plus 8 and third place. Purvis and Morris were teamed together and their plus 9s were enough to offset the minus 5s turned in by Jack Sipes (90) and Ray Huskey (93), enabling the team finish plus 8 and claim first place. Two teams shared second place at plus 6 - Bobby Burnette (88, minus 3), Kenny Pickett (83, plus 4), Don Hart (89, plus 1), Ray Fino (91, plus 4) and Charles Benefield (102, plus 1), Ed Hunter (89, plus 2), Charles Helenbrook (91, even), Tom Gray (82, plus 3). There was also tie for fourth at plus 4 involving the teams of Rudy Campanale (98, plus 1), Craig Flowers (85, plus 1), Ron Dandurand (95, minus 5), Michael Kaufman (82, plus 7) and Charles Kicklighter (89, plus 1), Lew Akins (94, minus 2), Abjorn Tefre (88, plus 4), Stan Miller (90, plus 1). There was no blitz on Friday. Breakfast mixer J.P. Kreger had another good Saturday morning as he once again headed a field of more than 30 players in the FBMGA Saturday morning breakfast GOLF NEWS mixer, shooting a 77, good for plus 7 points. There was a tie for all the remaining places at plus 3 by Steve Johnson (71), Rudy Campanale (90), Stan Miller (87), Jack Sipes (82), Jim Robertson (85), Mike Lovejoy (83) and Fred Boatright (81). Following the completion of the mixer, the quar- terly shootout between the top 10 winners of the quarter took place. Continuing his fine play, Kreger came in first, followed by Jim Greenwood, Ronnie Boatright, Sherman Scott, Campanale, Michael Kaufman, Eric Hughes, Robertson, Jack Croake and Charles Tammany. Association members are again reminded that yearly dues are now past due and must be paid by Thursday to be eligible to play in the Club Championship tournament. After that date, handi- caps will no longer be computed by the city pro shop. There are two upcoming tournaments with sign- up sheets in the pro shop. They are the couples tournament (best ball) and the Masters tourna- ment where each player picks a pro participating on the weekend in the Masters tournament being held in Augusta, Ga. Ladies play odd and even March 22 turned out to be a race to beat the rain and most succeeded in the Fernandina Beach Women's Golf Association weekly event. The game of the day was odd or even. Linda Scott and JaVene Lamb tied for first place with a score of 34. Donna Dandarand and Carol Minogue tied for third with 34.5 in Flight A. In B flight, Reginna Brennan came in the winner with 27.5 followed by Jeannette Cayouette with 34 and Robin Ritchey at 34.5. C flight found Peggy Rusk in first with 34.5. Second was Nancy Speck with 35, and tied for third were Wyn Adams and Mary Roesch, coming in with 36. D flight didn't complete the round before the rains came so they decided to call it a tie among all players. The ladies will host their annual golf invitational on Tuesday with a 9 a.m. shotgun start at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club. The format is better ball of the twosome. Entry fee is $60 per player. The field is limited to 48 teams. Contact Jayne Paige or the FBGC pro shop for entry forms at 277-7370.

In what seems to be a recurring theme on the PGA Tour this season, Mother Nature is having more of a say on the final outcome. For the 7th time in 13 events, a weather delay stopped play at one point or another at THE PLAYERS Championship. The long rain delays at the TPC at Sawgrass course mean that no winner of the event has been determined as of press time. In fact, the third round was just getting started when rain washed out the remainder of play Sunday. As a result, tournament officials are hopeful to get the final two rounds of play in Monday to determine the champion. No player had completed more than 11 holes in the third round and the lead was being held by Joe Durant and Luke Donald, both of whom are at 11-under-par. Tiger Woods barely main- tained his streak of consecutive cuts made, finishing round two at 1- under-par and right on the cut line.

Barber was also a prominent player on the PGA Tour during the 1960 and 1970s. Known as "Mr. X", Barber accumulated 11 victories in his PGA Tour career. Putting when you are not on the putting surface can be a different task, but it is the S proper shot in certain Instances. The first situation is when the ball is sitting down slightly off the green and the fairway has been mowed tight. When the ball is settled down, your tendency is to scoop the ball out. The putter, with no loft, allows you to.make better contact with the golf ball. A sandy lie off the green is always best to use your putter. If you chip the ball with a often club off a sandy lie,, your chances of hitting a fat shot are increased greatly. The final chance to use your putter off the green is if you simply have no confidence in your chipping game. If you are in a pressure sit- uation, the putter could be your best bet to get a shot on the green and near the hole. 2005 Money Leaders World Rankings Driving Distance Putting Average Rank & Player Money Rank & Player Score Rank & Player Avg.

Sailing club holds regatta for The Amelia Island Sailing Club held its annual St. Patrick's Day Regatta on March 12. The race, sponsored again this year by O'Kane's Irish Pub, was run in the Cumberland Sound under the threat of small craft warnings with winds forecast to 30 knots with higher gusts. Four boats decided to brave the tough conditions and an excit- ing race ensued. The boats start- ed off the downtown marina, sail- ing down the channel and then north towards Kings Bay, round- ing several green (for the occa- sion) markers along the way. The sailboats, ranging from 30 to 38 feet in length, were heeled over and tossed about by the gust- ing westerly winds and an outgo- ing tide which, because of the *t. Patricks wind, was running about 3 knots. The first place boat, Skimmer, skippered by Graeme Nichol and his first rate crew, completed the 12.1-mile course in 83 minutes. Breathing down his stern most of the way and finishing only 10 sec- onds later, was Coy Mistress skip-_ pered by Bill and Lin Bass. John and Gale Burns on Mast Con- fusion crossed three minutes later followed closely by Butch Beard on Cheese Boat After adjusting for local hand- icaps, the official winner was Coy Mistress, followed by Cheese Boat, Skimmer and Mast Confusion. The next race will be held April 9 in the ocean to Nassau Sound and is Sponsored by the Amelia Island Yacht Basin.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30,2005 / NEWS-LEADER OUTDOORS Spinners for redfish t was horrible weather for fishing, particularly backwa- ter fishing. The winds had been blowing for two , straight days and the tempera-. ture had not risen over 58 , degrees, making long boat rides miserable and catching fish a real challenge. With this in mind, profession- al redfish teams from all over Florida gathered at Sister's Creek boat ramp and checked out for a day of competitive angling on March 19. It was the final leg of the Redfish Cup Q- Series events where 15 top red- fish teams would qualify for the upcoming Redfish Cup tourna- ment trail Some of the teams wore ski masks and cold weather suits in preparation for the cold boat ride. My son, Terry David, and I were also well protected from the cold as we gunned our boat for some of Fernandina Beach's prime redfish waters. We ran side-by-side with Bill Pittman and his partner, Charles Keigley, also from Fernandina Beach. We both passed the Fernandina fishing team of Larry Boatwright and John Cascone, also of Fernandina Beach. All three local fishing teams had high hopes of winning the first-place prize and giving some recognition for sponsors. Most teams found the fishing slow with the cold weather condi- tions, but fortunately for all three Fernandina teams, we all fared well. Cascone and Boatwright weighed in 9.62 pounds of red- fish for 14th spot, Pittman and Keigly weighed in 10.71 pounds for eighth spot, while Terry David Lacoss and I weighed in 12.87 pounds for the fourth spot "We caught all of our fish on Terminator spinner baits," Pittman said. "We wish we could ^hay pt afew f needs' alt.:. size limit, but it just didn't work out." Terry David and I pulled into a area where big reds were hold- ing for several days, but the cold weather had moved most of the reds out into deep water. The tide was also falling from the marsh and the reds were staging in a small slough next to a oyster bar. T.D. made two casts and landed two Terry Lacoss reds that ... weighed almost 13 OUTDOORS pounds within five minutes of our arrival, then the action stopped completely. The reds had moved off from the slough into deep water. Call it luck if you wish. Both of us agreed that the fast Triton boat had gotten to our fish just in time to catch our limit One minute later and we would have gone back to the scales with a pair of much smaller fish that we had managed to catch later that morning.

This year, the camp offers five one-week sessions with all new programs beginning June 19. The primary goal of the camp program is to provide children with the necessary skills and knowledge to become better sportsmen and women, while instilling an awareness of firearm safety, conservation and wildlife stewardship. In addition, campers will fish, canoe, swim, hike and participate in many other outdoor activities. Tuition is $295 per camper per week and includes lodging, food, program materials and instruction for each session. Each week-long session is divid- ed into four groups based on their individual focus: Wild about Wildlife, Wet and Wildlife, ' Hunting and Hunter Safety and Expedition. All programs are new or significantly revised in ' format and scope from previous years. "Campers in Wild about Wildlife, a new program this year, will have a chance to go wild exploring'nature," said Cardinal Collins, director of the (90 1619 N (on www.ocean OREA ANi Ocala Conservation Center. 'They will learn about wildlife management and enjoy many camp activities including basic wilderness survival and field first-aid training, canoeing, fish- ing, hiking, shooting sports and other hands-on outdoor pro- grams." For those who can't resist the water, the camp offers another new program, aptly named Wet and Wildlife. 'This program gets into the fun of fishing, marine ecology and boating safety. In addition to the traditional camp activities already described above, Wet and Wildlife campers will have the opportunity to become certi- fied in the FWC's Boater Safety Course," Collins said. For the intermediate level camper, the camp offers the Hunting and Hunter Safety group. "These campers will learn about wild game and its habitats, and apply this knowledge to developing ethical hunting skills. Then they will have a chance to get their hunter safety certifica- tion. They will receive firearm SEAN OUTBOARD 4# Aw oat MARINE , oil IYO WUi --m oo + Bottom Painting 4) 321-1422 + Full Line of Electronics orth 14th Street + New & Pre-Owned Boats Egans Creek) + Engines Trailers & Accessories outboardmarine.com + Gated Boat Storage & Dockage IT PRICES FOR QUALITY AOATNI 9 FLER 'ERCRY V(YAMAHA me aftr Caft ^ ii,...* .

They will also have a chance to participate in many camp activities including basic wilder- ness survival and field first-aid training, canoeing, fishing, hik- ing, and other hands-on outdoor programs," Collins said. The final program is for advanced campers who have already completed a hunter safe- ty course. "The Expedition group is designed for the camper with an avid interest in the outdoors who already has successfully complet- ed the hunter safety course," Collins said. "Expedition is an outdoor adventure, including a trip into the forest for two days of primitive camping. Before leav- ing base camp, campers will pre- pare for this experience by learn- ing the fundamentals of wilderness survival, orienteer- ing, backpacking and campsite preparation."

Register online at ameliais PEOPLE Continued on 7B WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 2005 NEWS-LEADER / FERNANDINA BEACH, FL PAGE 5B The ultimate reality show is on the porch For more than four years I have written a weekly col- umn. When I first pitched the idea of a column chronicling the ups and downs of life on a little island off the north- east coast of Florida, I was asked to suggest a byline. My response was immediate. From The Porch. I didn't hesi- tate. Somehow the image of sit- ting on a porch and musing about my charmed life was a perfect fit It remains a perfect fit. My porch is where I go to take time-outs from a hectic schedule. My time-outs aren't the kind required of misbehaving children - mine are rewards. A cool drink in hand, I take time to sit and catch my breath. Three fans slow- ly circulate, creating a welcome if manufactured breeze. Beyond my porch spreads an open stage of marsh grasses offering endless performance opportunities for herons, pelicans and hawks. The porch is my favorite place to read. I stretch out on the wick- er love seat with my latest read in hand. No phone, no radio or tele- vision. More often than not the book ends up resting on my stomach as I take a quiet nap. If a friend stops by we gravi- tate to the porch and settle in to a space that allows for intimate and unhurried conversation. The porch is where Big Guy and I catch up at the end of the day. As we talk we watch as the marsh bathed in the golden red light of late day slowly darkens. I have strong porch memories from my childhood. A big sprawl- ing porch off the back of my childhood home was more a liv- ing room than the more formal official living room on the street side. That's were we would gath- er on hot muggy ern sum- mer nights. My grandnioth- er's old Baltimore Victorian house had a wrap- Dickie Anderson around ... porch where she FROM THE rocked as PORCH she sang "Froggy Went A-Courting" to her grand- children and later her great- grandchildren. There was a rock- ing chair that was clearly her chair. She never forgot a single verse and there were lots. If the child was small enough they were bounced in time to the traditional rhyme. When I was growing up our family rented a house on the coast of North Carolina each summer. The small cottage had a tiny box of a screened porch. It was on the ocean side of the house and a Coleman lantern flickered in the corner and the only noise other than our voices was the soft roar of the ocean so close at hand. The darkness was total. Nobody thought much about the front porch when most Americans had them and used them. The great American front porch was just there, open and sociable, an unassigned part of the house that belonged to every- one and no one, a place for family and friends to pass the time. They went away with the advent of cars and noise and dirt and air con- ditioning. People left their porch- es and retreated into the cool dark of their houses and watched television. Now porches are being redis- covered. New housing develop- ments are striving to incorporate elements that bring back tradi- tions associated with family - town squares, neighborhoods that invite strolling and, of course, porches. , Yes, porches are back with wicker furniture and porch swings. Natural breezes instead of the hum of air conditioners, birds flitting, dogs barking, cats hunting, butterflies flitting- the ultimate reality show. Dickie Anderson's latest book is Porch Plenitude: Feeling Good 4 Every Day.

We did try to keep Ebony and Ivory together but in the end felt it was more important to get one out of the shelter and keep looking for a home for Ebony. She is really quite beautiful with her medium length pure coat of black fur. The black and photo of her does not show off her very striking green/yellow eye color. Therefore you must come out to see her in person. Our other pet of the week is Alley, our bull terrier mix. She arrived at the shelter with heartworms. You see her previous owner failed to protect her from heart- worms with the monthly pill. If she was not treated she would have died. She had her treatment twomonths ago, and came through very well. Now she would like to find a new home where she will Ike loved and taken care of. You can meet all of the adoptable dogs next Saturday at the Bausch and Lomb Parade. Our wonder- ful volunteers have agreed to march all of the adoptable dogs in the parade that starts at 11 am Saturday. The cats said that parades are "just not their thing", so you will have to visit the shelter to see them. The shelter will not openi for adoptions until after the parade ends and all of the residents are safely home. We will be open from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday and usual hours on Sunday 1-3. The following Saturday, April 9 we will also have to close for the day because once again all of the volun- teers have agreed to trans- port the dogs and cats to an Adoption Day held at Pet- smart in Jacksonville. The dogs will be at the Orange Park location from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. and the cats travel to the Petsmart by Avenues Mall on Southside. If you can help with this adoption day we can use some assis- tance. It is a very big job to get all 33 dogs and 25 cats, up, fed, cleaned and out of the house at 7:30 a.m. to be set up for the store openings at 9 a.m. Even if they all do not get adopted, it is a great day out and helps get them even more attention and love. If you would like to vol- unteer to help, please call 321-1647 and speak to Sparky, Lynda, or Beth. See you at the parade! CATS ANGELS Hi, everybody, I'm called Puddin' (my brother Peanut calls me Puddin' Head!). We're a litter of four orange kittens around four months old, two boys, two girls, but I'm the only long-haired one, which makes me decid- edly special. We are the lucky ones - the kitties rescued by Cats Angels. My foster Mom explained it all to me. That it's spring and lots of kittens are being born right now. The Angels already have three moms with their 17 kittens, not to mention the over 50 adult cats, and the daily growing number of kit- tens without mothers among the small handful of ladies who foster care. We were lucky cause it was the begin- ning of the season and there was a cage for us. The Angels can only save as many kitties as there are foster homes willing to help. It seems to me there should be lots of people wanting to save little kittens lives like mine. Especially when the Angels give the foster people the cage, the food, the litter, pay for all the medical expenses and once the kit- tens are 3 months and got- ten spayed or neutered they go the Thrift Shop or Petsmart or Petland to get adopted. My foster Mom says it's the best thing she's ever done. She says she changes our fate, from being feral or dead, to being adopted in a loving home forever. That sounds good to me! So stop on by 1853 S. Eighth St. I hope you will consider foster care this spring the life you save would be someone sweet, like me. The Thrift Shop is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m to 5 Op6en 1 a.M'.

They can be stuffed with bits of leftover meats, chicken or shellfish mixed with a com- plementary sauce and season- ings, and topped with some of the basic sauce that has been set aside. They can be stuffed with fruits, cheeses or whatev- er is available, mixed with a lit- tle appropriate sauce and topped with the same sauce without the added ingredients, or a different sauce for a more complex presentation. To make preparation quick- er, crepes can bie made ahead, stacked with a couple of layers of waxed paper or plastic wrap between each, and frozen for use up to a couple of weeks. I am bringing you a basic recipe for the crepes, plus a chicken-and-spinach combina- tion. But do take advantage of the season's fresh berries and stuff some crepes with sweet- ened berries and softened, slightly sweetened cream cheese, for a delicate dessert BASIC CREPES 1 1/4 cups milk 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon cooking oil 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Combine all ingredients in a blender. For dinner crepes, add 1/4 teaspoon salt. For. dessert crepes, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon sugar instead of salt Cover and blend until smooth. Heat a lightly greased 6- or 8-inch sloped-sided skillet over medi- um-high heat Remove from heat, and pour 2 tablespoons of batter for 6-inch skillet or 3 tablespoons for an 8-inch skil- let. ift and tilt skillet to spread batter and coat bottom of pan. Return to heat Cook for 1 minute or until light brown. Turn with a spatula, and cook second side for 30 seconds. Slide finished crepes onto paper towel, cooling before preparing for freezer or for desserts. For filled crepes, spoon filling into center; roll or fold crepe while still in the pan; slide carefully onto plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Filling for spinach and chicken crepes: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup skim milk 1 beaten egg dash salt non-stick spray coating 2 cups sliced fresh mush- rooms 1/2 cup sliced green onions or leeks 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup evaporated milk 2 Tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt and dash of pepper 2 tablespoons dry sherry 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces) 1 10-ounce pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained 2 cup" tin'lv chopped cooked chicken or turkey For sauce, combine mush- rooms, leek and water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Do not drain. Combine milk, corn- starch, salt and pepper. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in sherry and 1/2 of the cheese until melted. For filling, combine spinach, chick- en and 1 cup of the sauce. Spoon 1/4 cup filling onto unbrowned side of each crepe. Roll up. Arrange crepes, seam side down, in a 3-quart rectan- gular baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over crepes. Cover and bake in a 375 E oven 25 minutes or until hot Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake 5 minutes more. Makes six servings.
